Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Currently known from only one large limestone outcrop; absent in the surrounding non-calcareous area. Found in lowland tropical Dipterocarp rainforest.
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Two smaller limestone outcrops nearby Suan Lamba, which also supported subpopulations of this species, have probably disappeared due to quarrying since the 1960s. Repeated cycles of logging and fire on and around the limestone outcrops cause drying out of the forest and decline of Prosobranch populations.
